  1. Report Discussion. (content and format, etc.)
  2. Alex gave a brief review of the June meeting. And asked if there had been a consensus on what we should do in presenting our reports to the city and town councils. The discussion centered on whether we should present to the councils first and then to the respective public or the reverse, present to the public first then to the respective city councils. There was some brief discussion on presenting to both the councils and the populations at the same time.

    Made the decision to review individual reports and actually report on what could make things better and on what should change. Should give a date when the changes should be accomplished. We began with the water/sewer report. Next month take another and revise.
